Please consider donating to support the work of British in Europe

France Rights itself is a non-funded platform, but we do raise funds, for British in Europe, the coalition group of UK citizens living and working in Europe, of which we are an active core member and of which France Rights' founders are steering committee members.

Here are some of the things that British in Europe has achieved:

1. The Withdrawal Agreement

• Working with the3million, British in Europe ensured that citizens’ rights were at the top of the list of three priorities in the agreement.
• Both groups had a major impact on the citizens' rights chapter, feeding into (and being debriefed on) each round of negotiations and every draft. 
• We highlighted previously ignored areas such as the rights of dual nationals, we ensured clarity on healthcare and social security and we persuaded both sides to extend the right of absence for permanent residents from two to five years. 
• We widened the initial focus of negotiators to include issues that affect Britons of working age and particularly those of young people.

2. UK Government Issues

• In ongoing talks, we have obtained a commitment that UK nationals in the EU27 going to study in Britain will be entitled to home university fee rates rather than expensive international fees for seven years from the end of the transition period.
• We have obtained a grace period until 2022 for Britons returning to the UK with non-British family members without having to meet the requirements of normally applicable UK immigration law.

3. No-deal Plans

Through our advocacy on contingency plans:

• We secured better provisions on healthcare for pensioners and the uprating of UK pensions than the UK government initially offered.
• We obtained clarification and changes from member states that would have benefited Britons in areas such as registration for our new status.

4. Information

• For our 35,000 members, at each stage of the negotiations, we have provided clear and accurate information on citizens' rights.
• For government and the media we have provided expert analysis with a strong legal basis on the complexity of issues such as working rights, professional qualifications, pensions, healthcare and mobile citizens.

Money you donate will be used to:

• Monitor and provide critical feedback on the implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement throughout the EU, particularly in areas such as reciprocal healthcare for UK pensioners.
• In member states and at EU-level, press for a fair and consistent approach to the registration of Britons in our new status as third-country nationals protected by the WA.
• Fight for rights such as continuing freedom of movement and cross-border service provision, which were unfairly left out of the WA.
• Further lobby the UK government about student fees and the right to return with non-UK family members.
• Continue to raise the issues of working people and young Britons.
• Foster contacts with MEPs and the EU Ombudsman’s office to ensure that our rights are properly and consistently implemented across the EU27.

How to donate

If you want to see the work of France Rights and British in Europe continue through the transition period, during which there is a lot to do, then please consider donating to our fundraising appeal. The blunt truth is that after three years of campaigning on a shoestring we can no longer carry on our work without funding.
